WEEK 10: REMOTE LEARNING

Teachers have been busily planning for remote learning in Week 10 to allow students to access learning.  Students in Kindergarten, Amaroo and the Learning Support Centre will receive printed booklets to complete throughout the week.  The rest of the school will complete activities online.

Learning Plans will be published and shared with the school community at the end of Week 9, Friday 16 September. Daily overviews for each class will be available and individual teachers will share work through the learning platform with which students are most familiar. Years 1-4 will use Seesaw and Years 5-6 will use Google Classroom. 

Daily ZOOM class meetings will be set up for students in Year 1 - 6. These will be a short 10- 15 check in at a set time each day except Wednesday. 

Zoom Meetings:

Years 1 & 2 will be at 9am 

Years 3,4,5 & 6 will be at 9:30am

The expectations of the ZOOM meetings will be discussed in class during Week 9.
